C5                 F5                      C5                 E5 
I am here to tell you we can never meet again 
A5                A5       F5                        G5 
Simple really, isn?t it, a word or two and then 
    C5                   F5                          C5                     E5 
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when 
        A5                  A5                 F5 
You think of me, or speak of me, or wonder what befell 
        D5                                             G5 
The someone you once loved so long ago, so well 
 
Never wonder what I?ll feel as living shuffles by 

You don?t have to ask me and I need not reply 

Every moment of my life from now until I die 

I will think or dream of you and fail to understand 

How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand 

Chorus: 
C5 
Is it written in the stars? 
             A5 
Are we paying for some crime? 
           F5 
Is that all that we are good for? 
             G5 
Just a stretch of mortal time? 
            C5 
Is this God?s experiment 
      A5  
In which we have no say 
     F5         
In which we?re given paradise 
       G5            C5     F5  C5  F5  C5 
But only for a day? 
 
Nothing can be altered, oh, there is nothing to decide 
No escape, no change of heart, no any place to hide 
You are all I?ll ever want but this I am denying? 
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts I wish I never learned 
What it is to be in love and have that love returned 
Chorus: 
Is it written in the stars? 
Are we paying for some crime? 
Is that all that we are good for? 
Just a stretch of mortal time? 
Is this God?s experiment {God?s experiment} 
In which we have no say {In which we have no say} 
In which we?re given paradise {If only for a day} 
But only for a day? 
{Is it written in the stars?} 
{Are we paying for some crime?} 
{Is that all that we are good for?} 
{Just a stretch of mortal time?} 
Is this God?s experiment {God?s experiment} 
In which we have no say (In which we have no say) 
In which we?re given paradise (Given paradise) 
But only for a day?
